This is a plain CPK model, but with a world map texture-mapped onto the surface.It was riginally a demo for one of my commercial clients. They decided they wanted something a little different, so I put it up here
A standard CPK model, colored by element, against a stone background.The flat base-pairs are stacked in the center of the strand, perpendicular to the view, and the backbone makes a right-handed spiral around the central, vertical axis.
now that we all know the structure of DNA (right?), I can get a little more artistic. This is intended to be sort of an outdoorsy image, with each strand one color - brown and green for tree bark and leaves. Okay, so it's a little hokey... :)
Some people build ships in bottles, but what about DNA? :)This is intended to be a piece on display in a museum or art gallery. The bottle and beveled shelf were created with Moray.
